below that. over in nebraska which has a yet smaller population of 2 million people, didn t cut taxes, job growth in the same period was 35,000. i don t know, there s no evidence if you cut corporate taxes that it results in job growth at this level. art very wisely cites 1986 and much bigger cut. that s not actually what we are talking about. i want to point out, art, we are old friends, i don t know why you didn t take issue with how fat i was. i appreciate you not discussing that. what can i say, a chubby ali is a very nice ali. he looks great. i want you to answer his question. if you look at the experience of kansas, they did what you said, they cut the corporate tax rate and it did not result in job creation. what happened? kansas is an example of itself, they have a lot of other things, it was a small cut. but i don t want to do that. if you look at all the states, stop doing just anecdotes, look at all of the states, states with the lowest tax rates have
hillary clinton was the biggest motivator and unifier for the democratic party, it s a message for president trump to go some ways in terms of unifying their party. but they don t have a message, they don t really have an agenda in terms of what they re standing for. that s what really hurt them in this last election, so many people who were not on either coast didn t hear a message that appealed to them. the bernie message, the hillary message, obviously didn t cut it. so, ellis, is the big unifier going to be the going against donald trump? but again, as brian just said, the message leading up to 2016, being against something as opposed to forsom something, is this the democrats got more votes. more people like that, even that
the leaks. the leaks about all that. first cnn s sara murray joins us. new information about when vice president pence found out about flynn. what are sources telling you? that s right, anderson. mike pence was out there publicly saying flynn did not discuss these sanctions with the russian ambassador. turns out even though the president knew for weeks that was not the case, that the department of justice was looking into flynn s contacts in the call, mike pence only knew for a couple days he found out on february 9th. this about why the president didn t cut his national security adviser loose sooner. the evolving and eroding level of trust as a result of this situation and a series of other questionable instances is what led the president to ask for general flynn s resignation. reporter: tonight the white house is doing damage control, trying to explain why president trump didn t fire national
on infrastructure and raise taxes. whose ideology is going to win out on something like this? i think this pick can be a disaster or brilliant. rick mulvaney even voted against the republican budgets in the house because didn t cut spending enough. now, he is going to be at war immediately with donald trump s proposal, like you said, to cut taxes steeply and increase all the infrastructure spending or help bring a lot of republicans from the house towards the sort of view point on fiscal spending. he could help, in other words, sell a lot of these votes to members of the house who otherwise would have been skeptical. so, one of the things you point out in your reporting that is really important is that a lot of the decisions made at some of these levels don t need presidential eproval. they wouldn t necessarily go up to the president. not just about differing ideologies but then the president makes the call. it is about the president
let me push you on that, steve. what would make you withdraw your support? i mean, after seeing what he said on that video, we re talking about a 59-year-old man at the time, we re not talking about some youthful guy that got carried away. sure. what would make you reconsider your support given what he said in the past and now this kind of blatant graphic, lewd kind of behavior? right. listen, al, that s a fair question. a couple of things, if he said that very recently if that tape was from six months ago, for me, that would be a deal breaker. if he would not apologize. and his second apology, first one, frankly, didn t cut it with me and not with very many people. the second one on video was unreserved and unmitigated. he apologized, asked for forgiveness, asked his wife for forgiveness. i m willing to grant that. i think he has the onus is on him to come out and sell his starkly different vision for america, the american people. and also convince them that he s
